Sanibel Alpha Vampire Werewolf Menage (Fanged Romance Series Book 5.5) by Talyn Scott

’ t drip. “ You ’ ve just proven you really don't  want to use your weapon on me, Tatum. ” He stepped even closer, pressing the hard line of his erection against her stomach, holding her in place with his hand gripping her ass. “ Admit it. ” He took the stapler from her hand, tossing it behind her. “ Shall we behave like grownups now? ”
    “ No, ” she whispered, a shiver rolling over her.  Immediately, a blast of heat left Mike ’ s body and penetrated hers.  Jayce could warm her like that, sense when she had the chills and send his Alpha ’ s heat to her body.  Apparently Mike could, too.
    “This situation between us has to be resolved, ” he said, trailing a finger down the column of her throat, staring down at her with his eyes flashing his Beast. “ Fifteen minutes, ” he reminded.  In blurring speed, her top hit the floor, followed by her bra. He stopped then, his eyes bouncing from breast to breast. “ I can ’ t believe you are mine, in my arms no less. ”
    She opened her mouth and then closed it, second guessing herself.   “ Fine, I ’ ll keep the fifteen minute agreement, ” she  snapped, bracing her fists on her hips. “ Nothing compares to mating Bren or Jayce when they ’ ve released their Beasts under a full moon, so  I ’ ve grown tougher since the last time we were … intimate. ” She jutted her chin, staring up at him.   “ But I won ’ t fuck you. ”
    He stiffened, but not for the reasons she thought.   “ I will never fuck you, ” he hissed under a low breath.  
    Tatum shook her head.   “ Play on words.  Call it what you want.  But you won ’ t enter me. ” She pushed him away and  pointed a finger pistol at his crotch without taking her eyes from his.   “ Not with your cock entering anyplace in my body. ”
    “Tatum, ” he warned darkly.
    “ These will be my two exceptions, Mike. I think they are fair, considering. ”   She had to prove him wrong. That she didn ’ t desire him in the way he insisted, so they could move on to a companionable friendship instead, which was more comfortable for her.
    “Refusing my cock is quite an exception, My Mate. ” He gripped her hips and pulled her body off the floor,  her shorts and panties disappearing in a flash. “ Playing hard to get might work for you in the short term, but I ’ ll have you soon enough.  And if you make me wait too long, you might find the size of me a little ” — he circled his hips, driving his hardened cock against her — “ uncomfortable to handle.  Considering I ’ ve done nothing more than jack-off for an entire year, staying faithful to someone who ’ d sooner wish me castrated than mate me, my patience has come close to leaving me. ”
    Coming from a werewolf, this was dangerous.  Beasts needed relief or they grew increasingly unstable, nearly violent.   “ On, second thought, ” she said, pushing at his shoulders yet still landing smack in the middle of the bed. “ Maybe we should start with you feeding me your blood. ”
    “And to think I was giving you a sporting chance by not insisting that we start with such an overwhelming aphrodisiac as our blood exchange, but there you go amazing me. ” He protracted a claw and reached for his throat.
    She stayed his hand, realizing her mistake. “ Blood after! ”
    Pulling off his watch, he started the timer. “L ass,  there has to be something, a flicker even, left inside you for me. ” He tied her right wrist to the first bedpost.   “ Maybe a hidden need you ’ ve carried in the back of your mind, soul, conscious. ” Her left wrist was next. “ Notice I ’ m not saying heart. ” She tugged at her restraints, her eyes moving down her body as he tied her right ankle. “ An emptiness you can ’ t dispel no matter how hard you try. ”  
    “No, ” she groaned as her final limb was secured, she could barely move her legs. “ We aren ’ t meant to be together. ”
    “Then let ’ s disprove my
